Gutter Covers and Gutter Protection "Rain Barrels"

Rain Barrels like you can see all over the web are becoming more popular as a way of collecting water from gutters. Of course in the northeast part of the country with all the rain we've been having recently this is hardly an issue, however, there are many parts of the country and from time to time the northeast where there is a water shortage and it makes sense to collect all the water you can.

The problem is that if you have trees around your home, the water has too much organic matter and debris. The obvious answer would be to use gutter covers and the one that is most effective at keeping organic debris out of gutters is the Waterloov system. In fact it's been used for over a decade in the Pennsylvania area for collecting water for cisterns where the water can be used for drinking or irrigation.
